Time is ticking,
I am waiting.

Time is ticking,
It is hurting.

Time is ticking,
I am burning.

Time is ticking,
I am sighing.

Time is ticking,
I am dreaming.

Time is ticking,
I am rotting.

Time is ticking,
I am worrying.

Time is ticking,
I am thinking.

Time is ticking,
I am asking.

Time is ticking,
But you are not answering.
(Or are you? I cannot hear.)

Time is ticking,
But are not coming.
(Or are you? I cannot see.)

Time is ticking,
But you are smiling.
(At my condition? I don't know.)

Time is ticking,
And I am dying.
